ACPI thermal event causes brief freeze

Hi,

since I upgraded to kernel 2.6.11-rc4, every time there is a thermal event my machine (HP/compaq NC6000) freezes for about 1 second. Audio stutters and pretty much everything, including the mouse pointer, stops dead for a bit.

This did not happen with a similarly configured vanilla 2.6.9 kernel.

It's pretty irritating. Is there anything I can do to debug this?

Thanks,
Lorenzo

Have you enabled ACPI_DEBUG?
If yes, try again without.

ACPI_DEBUG is incredibly slow since 2.6.11-rc2-bk10.

You probably solve this by not debugging :)

Wow, that seems to work like a charm. Thanks!

Cheers,

it is probably caused by ACPI_DEBUG. I experienced the same - see my mails from 4th and 14th february with subject "Bad Battery Regresion on Dell D600", there are some workarounds to this.
